2009 Conference

Sensory Impairment: Horizons, Innovation & Impact

This conference was hosted by Mary Hare and New College Worcester.  The keynote speaker was Professor David McAlpine, Professor of Auditory Neuroscience and Director fo the Ear Institute.

The programme included speakers and workshops on hearing impairment and visual impairment.

This is what some of our delegates said about the day:

"Fantastic Keynote speech – very informative and thought provoking."

"I particularly enjoyed Dr Liz Hodges – bringing deafness and blindness together into deafblindness – issues and ways forward."

“I’d like to say that we thoroughly enjoyed the day and found it very informative.  We were able to take some very important information away with us and will be using some of it in the very near future, when we have to fight for the appropriate placement for our son.”
